  1. Re:Um, 2 years ago on Obama To Get Secure BlackBerry 8830 · · Score: 0, Troll

    The BlackBerry network does have outages from time to time. But the linked article is from April 18, 2007!

    Last time I checked, it was 2009...

  2. Re:Pay attention, kids on $74k Judgment Against Craigslist Prankster · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Good point, but where is the boundary between "sharing with your friends" and "publishing" these days? If I post those comments on Facebook, and allow everyone to see my profile, its publishing, but when I only share them with my friends, its OK? What if I let everyone in my network see it? Frankly, I'm almost a bit scared to "publish" something I don't own inadvertently...

    In Europe, you get an SMS when you connect to a roaming network that tells you how much it costs per minut to call back home, and how much it costs to be called while abroad. It also lists a number where you can send an SMS to (free of charge) to find out the current cost of making a phone call from where you are.

  6. Re:"Internet" is my pet peeve on Internet Users Not Updating Browser · · Score: 0

    Anyone else friggin hate it when products and publications use the words "internet" and "web" interchangeably? It's a web browser, not an internet browser. The internet is more than a presentation layer.

    Why is it then called "Internet Explorer" and not "Web Explorer?" Blame Mircosoft, not the people!

  7. I'm at least as good as this software... on Poker Program Battles Humans In Vegas · · Score: 0, Redundant

    'It's possible, given enough computing power, for computers to play "perfectly," where over a long enough match, the program cannot lose money," said associate professor Michael Bowling.'

    I'm at least as good as this software! I also won't loose any money playing Poker. In fact, I'm better, because I don't loose any money in the short, near, or long term! I just don't gamble!

    I'm not sure, but doesn't the "movile service device" also include a car?

  9. Re:You can't be this naive ... on Wikileaks Gets Hold of Counterinsurgency Manual · · Score: 0

    War is about imposing YOUR will on your enemy. And our will is to stop the other side from doing things we want. Too bad that we use the tactitcs that we want them to stop using, to begin with...

    "The disk of the Milky Way galaxy is approximately 100,000 light years in diameter, and, though previously believed to be about 1,000 light years thick[7], has recently been discovered to be roughly 12,000 light years thick[8]."

    You may want to check your sources.

  16. Re:Video cards? on Intel, Micron Boost Flash Memory Speed by Five Times · · Score: 1

    If you interpret "vide card" as the card in a HD videa camcorder, then I could see it being useful to wait 10 minutes in stead of 1 hour for my kid's soccer game to be transferred to my PC.

  17. Re:!vegan tag on Edible Antifreeze For Smoother Ice Cream · · Score: 1
    I know that gelatin can be made from the spine of cows. This was a big concern when mad cow disease struck the UK. You had to think twice if you wanted to eat your gummy bears or jellos.

    According to this picture found on Wiki 44% of gelatin raw material in pig skin, 28% is Bovine hide, and 27% is bones. That leave 1% for "others".

    So the icecream with its not vegan, nor vegetarian.
